CURRENT AFFAIRS: List Of States Owing Salaries Of 6 Months And Above in Nigeria

Why the Focus
only Osun, why Some states are even owing 9months Salary? Abia State for
example paid it's last salaries on November 30th 2014. Why can't we
expose all of them? Why in a 18 Cans of worms, we Choose only one can to
open?

According to the paper, “The report of the Task Force of the NLC
revealed that while some of the states had paid salaries of workers up
to date, they were owing arrears of pensions running into months.

The report paints a bleak
picture of civil service workers across the country. Take Abia for
example. The report states that it has not paid the salaries of workers
at the State Teaching Hospital for nine months.

The state is
also said to be owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight
months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months;
Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four
months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.

Enugu may
have paid the salaries of civil servants till date, but parastatals are
owed 12 months’ salaries and pension and gratuity payments haven’t been
issued since 2010.

For other states, the picture is a sorry
one. Osun, on average, owes six months’ in salary and pension payments;
Plateau, six months in salaries and seven months in pension
entitlements; Benue, five months of salaries and four months of pension
benefits; Kogi, four months in arrears of pension and salary payments;
and Oyo, which owes three months in salaries and between five and 11
months of pension payments.

States which are likely to owe salaries and pension of workers well into the commencement of the incoming administration’s
tenure on May 29 include Ekiti, which is already in arrears of state
employee salaries for three months; Jigawa, which owes judiciary workers
a month in salary arrears; Ondo, which owes a month’s salary and
pension payments, while Ogun also owes a month of salary payments but a
mind-boggling 52 months of unremitted pension deductions to the Pension
Fund Administration.

While Zamfara has paid workers’ salaries up to date, the salaries of workers recruited in 2014 have not been paid.

The NLC Task Force also manipulated Rivers State for owing one month’s
worth of pay and three months worth of pension payments while Kano is
yet to pay newly employed teachers for three months.

The report was silent on the status of Yobe and Ebonyi on the ground that “there was no information on them.”
